This is a very thorough and well written book. Many interesting theories with detailed information that I had not read about before.
I highly recommend this book as it provides hands down the best information on the Ripper mystery.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

A great overview of all the current theories for who Jack the Ripper was - enjoyable and easy read, and covered some new stuff that I hadn't seen anywhere else.
I'll be talking about it more on my blog, once it's repaired, but there was a lot to digest in here.

Million Dollar Question!!...........Who was Jack the Ripper?

Who was Jack the Ripper? by H Division Crime Club is a great book for all Jack The Ripper fans out there.
This book is written by the members of H Division Crime Club, they are a group of experts who have studied everything about the Great person himself! Jack The Ripper.
They take you back to have a closer look at Victorian London with detailed accounts of the Whitechapel Murders of 1888. This book is full of facts and will have you thinking who was Jack The Ripper.

But, who was he? Hmmmmmmmm

I wonder if we ever find out who he or she was?

Big Thank you to NetGalley for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A detailed account of the Whitechapel Murders of 1888, focusing on its victims and twelve possible suspects.

Written by the members of H Division Crime Club, a group of experts on the subject, who not only give us a closer look at the setting (Victorian London) but also provide us with as many facts as possible to support each of their suspects.

A great book for fans of Jack the Ripper!

Thanks to NetGalley and Pen & Sword for a copy of this book to read and review.

For lovers of true crime, and especially those with a bit of knowledge about Jack the Ripper (JtR), "Who was Jack the Ripper" is a fascinating look at this infamous series of crimes. With the presentation of multiple suspects, JtR is broken down and viewed from so many angles it will leave you spinning.

What I found most intriguing about this book is the look at the culture of London at that time. It was a different world than what we live in now. I am left with these questions: Can our modern day definition of a "serial killer" really be used to solve a crime from over 130 years ago? Will we ever really know who JtR was?

Thank you to NetGalley for my free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
